The Democratic presidential candidate held a town hall and picked up an endorsement from former Massachusetts Sen. Paul Kirk.

Starting early Thursday afternoon, students and neighbors lined the walls of the Hopkins Center.

Although some attendees said they are “feeling the Bern,” others were more dubious about Sanders.

“He's not a compromiser, and he takes a really hard line on things. And that's awesome, but in a polarized Congress where no one wants to work with either side, I don't see him making a lot of friends by saying, 'this is what I'm going to do, and I'm not going to budge on it,’” said Benjamin Hayslett-Ubell, a sophomore at Brown University.

More than 1,400 Dartmouth College students, Hanover residents and Sanders supporters lined up to hear the senator speak.

Senior Isaac Takushi was first in line and said he is leaning toward voting for Sanders, but that he still has questions.

“The ones that resonate with me most are higher education and the environment, so I’m at a unique position in my life and I just want to make sure I'm making the right decision,” said Takushi.

“Now the fossil fuel industry and their campaign contributors may not like it, but the future of this planet is more important than their short-term profits,” said Sanders.

Sanders spoke of his political revolution, which he said he will achieve as president by raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, making public colleges tuition-free and creating a single-payer health care system.

Reporters asked how the government would find the money to provide health care for nearly every U.S. citizen and whether it would raise taxes.

“I hope everyone understands this because sometimes we get attacked unfairly, is what this plan does of course, is end private insurance payments for the American people. So instead of making a private insurance premium payment, you make a Medicare premium payment,” said Sanders.

Kirk endorsed Sanders tonight, and he isn’t the only one.

According to Real Clear Politics, an average of 48 percent of New Hampshire Democratic primary voters support Sanders -- more than a six-point lead over Hillary Clinton.
